Enhydra Lutris Goes To R/relationships

Me (22/F) finds there is a certain 'pressure' to have sex in relationship. Not the fault of my boyfriend (22/F) of two years, but I can't help but feel resentment.

bolding not mine

I'm not sure this lady is really equipped to handle the pressures of being alive, like in a biological sense.

We had a fun land chat diversion for several pages a million pages ago. Some dickhead had sold his easement to the front and wanted his back side neighbor to give him one.

tbh I feel like if the dog had just destroyed a bunch of other valuables in someone's house and got sick for it the case would be p clear against the lovely dog and owner. All the comments are like "it's her fault for having drugs" but it's not really a different situation than if the dog knocked over a rack of wine then licked it up till they got sick.

uh no if you agree to take on care of a dog, you have duty of care. it is your duty to "dog proof" your place and if you fail, you should not consent to caring for the dog.

if the dog ate chocolate or drank liquor, the person watching would also be liable.

lack of compensation does not negate duty of care.

I mean I agree to some extent but like if someone was a crochet enthusiast and the dog ended up chewing into their yarn and wrecking their intestines (not uncommon for cats/dogs to do this), I don't think they'd have the same fervor or leverage, it just sorta comes across to me as extortion because it was specifically coke that hurt the dog. Reality is they should just paid for professionals to house their dog and the friend should have never agreed to try and help. Friend obviously wasn't maliciously hosting the dog or throwing away a couple hundo in coke just hurt the animal, feels eh to get em sent to jail over it.

you don't understand how extortion works then.

this is not a unique situation, if you replace cocaine with a bottle of fine wine or a box of expensive dutch chocolates, it would still be laughed out of court and probably ruled the owner of said wine is liable for vet bills.

as i just said by agreeing to care for the dog they have duty of care. that's a specific, legal concept. part of duty of care is not letting dogs sniff coke or eat chocolate.

I guess i just feel like you don't understand how dogs work then. My mom's been a vet tech for decades now and I worked in her vet hospital in high school as cleaning staff. Like even the best of owners make mistakes occasionally when their dog snatches some chocolate birthday cake, we saw plenty that did unforeseeable poo poo like straight up chewing into furniture and then clogging their intestines on stuffing. Every second you're not watching your dog is a second they could be doing something super dumb to kill themselves. Any owner that leaves their pet at home when they head off to work is risking coming back to their pooch in critical condition everyday.

To me, the dog getting into something it shouldn't have is clearly an accident that's the responsibility of the owner for not kenneling em. It'd be one thing if like they locked the dog in the closet for a weak and it got hospitalized for lack of food and water, but it getting into something in their house is not something they should be liable for and I doubt you'd even hear the possibility of a lawsuit here if it wasn't under the implicit threat of "if you fight back we'll report you to the police for your coke".

I dunno maybe there's a bunch of legal cases of people pet sitting getting stuck with vet bills because the pet stress ate a blanket but I kinda doubt it.

yeah but most of them have you check on their animal like a couple times a day for the weekend rather than drop their pet off at your place for the duration.

I pet sit all the time and am like the goto guy people in my social circles ask for help with that sorta thing, but it's always at their place.

I didn't mean to say it was the owner's 100% responsibility just that I don't really think they should be trying to get their friend jailed over the incident either. It was obviously an unfortunate accident cause pets are dumb and will eat stuff they shouldn't.

it doesn't sound like she is. it sounds like she asked for compensation and the friend is mad she can't file a countersuit she would lose because it's coke, not chocolate.

no one is forcing friend to go to jail. the coke is no longer present - i seriously doubt the friend could be charged w/ possession if they're smart and have cleaned up.

she had duty of care, and breached it. i understand you don't come from a family of doctors or engineers and thus things might need to be repeated a few times to sink in, but i am going to assume you're trolling past this point if you keep pressing this issue.

Wife threw my family heirloom axes behind my back. The only thing left from my late grandpa who single-handedly raised me. I�m a very easy going man but this is the last straw for me. I�m considering a divorce. I need help, don�t know how to handle this situation.(Sorry long post) (self.relationship_advice)

quote:

Let me start saying this is probably the second time in 12 years that I(36)�ve yelled at my wife(44), I feel terrible about it but I lost my poo poo. That comes to show how badly we argued.

This all started yesterday. We were cleaning out my late grandfather�s house, he died recently and I�m putting his house up for sale, selling what I can from his belongings and donating the rest. I live in a different country than where his house is located and can�t ship everything to my country, so I�m only keeping a few things that I really wanted. While going through the house I found some cool things, among them a couple of old axes (you can see here a post I made yesterday about them). This is where the problem began. I wanted to take them home and hang them on the wall, but my wife insisted they were rotten and rusty so I had to throw them in the trash.

Now I�m not too handsy and don�t know my way around tools, so I took to reddit to ask if they were indeed rotten and had to be thrown, or if they could be restored or cleaned. After the majority of people suggested I left them as they were, leave the patina as it is and hang them on the wall, I decided to do so, to just hang them as they are instead of restoring them.

All this time my wife was giving me poo poo saying the axes looked ugly, she doesn�t want that crap at home, it sends off violent vibes, looks dirty, it�d be like having my grandfather present in ou4 house 24/7 �well that�s part of the point- etc. I�m generally an easy going guy, I just want to make her happy and don�t like arguing over little things, so I let her win most battles. She�s decorated the whole house to her liking, picked the furniture, all the works. I don't always agree but I let it go because it makes her happy.

But this is the one time I put my foot down and expressed my desire of having my grandfather�s axes hung on the wall in a cross shape. She knows what my grandfather meant to me, he raised me single-handedly since age 4. My mother left my father for another guy when I was 3, she took off and never saw her again. My father (his son) was an alcoholic and wasn�t prepared nor wanted to raise a kid on his own. My grandfather had lost his wife and didn�t have any other children or relatives alive. He told me how one day he went to check how my dad was doing, and found me alone in the living room watching TV, he grabbed me and put me in his car, then we went around looking for my dad just to find him in a local bar getting wasted. He told me how that day he gave my dad an ultimatum, to either get cleaned and start acting as a parent, or he�d fight to get custody over me and raise me on his own.

To my grandpa�s surprise, my father blamed me for being the reason my mother decided to leave us, and said he�d be doing him a favor if he got me off his hands. That very same night my grandpa drove back to my dad�s house, collected all my stuff and moved me with him to his house in a different county.

Both of us tried to make contact with my father time and again over the years, but he never showed any interest in either of us and refused to meet me. He started doing hard drugs and by the time I was 15 he had died of an overdose. I only knew my parents from pictures.

All I�ve ever known was my grandpa, and all love I�ve ever gotten came from him. He bought me clothes, he cooked for me, fed me, took me to the park, played with me, taught me how to ride a bike, he walked me to school every single day, taught me how to shave, taught me to play guitar, took me to church every single Sunday, he gave me an education, paid for my college. He gave me the happy childhood I wouldn�t have otherwise had. He taught me the importance of having principles, of having discipline, of being gentle and understanding of others, not to judge. He made sure I was on the right path always. Kept me away from drugs and bad companies.

Every single day of my life I�ve been grateful for this man, who had a heart bigger than most men I�ve known, who took me under his wing and raised me, who gave me a home, a family and most important, he gave me love. He was my hero.

My wife knows my story very well, and knows how much I love, respect and owe my grandpa. Out of all people, she�s the one who shouldn�t have this much trouble understanding what those axes mean to me, even if they are just loving old rusty axes. They look awesome and when I found them, I felt it was a symbol of my grandpa�s strength and will power. It felt a bit as though he�d left a present for me to find after he passed. I don�t ask my wife for nothing, she has leeway to do as she pleases with the house, all I wanted was to hang my grandpa�s axes on the wall.

After posting about it yesterday on reddit and showing her the many replies telling me to keep and hang the axes, praising how cool and special they look, she said she�d changed her mind and was now ok with me hanging them.

So today I woke up, went about my day and when I went to the garage to get a hold of the axes, they weren�t there. They were nowhere to be found. I went back inside the house to find my wife and kids and ask them if they�d move them around or something. When my wife said, you have to sit down to hear this, my stomach sank.

She confessed to having thrown away the axes this morning when the bin-man passed by, so that I couldn�t retrieve them and bring them back into the house. Then she topped it saying �We both know you have no taste, you�ll thank me later�. I feel nothing but hatred, anger and resentment right now. This is not about having taste, is about not respecting my decision, about her not being capable of budging. She decorated the whole house, I don�t understand why it�s even a problem that I want to hang two axes on the wall, she has decorated the whole house with stuff she likes �even when I don�t-, and she knows this belonged to my grandpa and is special to me.

So we got into a screaming match, she says I�m being insensitive to her needs and that I know she has OCD �which I�m sure just because you like having your house tidy and the pictures on the wall straight doesn�t make you OCD- and argued how the axes broke the house�s harmony and flow and would throw her off having the 'house visuals altered'. And besides that, the axes were dangerous, send a negative message about us as a family, makes us look like �wannabe badass hillbillies� and �junk belongs in the trash�. Nothing but vitriol and pure vicious attacks coming off her mouth.

WTF? Who�s this person and where is my wife? This poo poo is getting out of hand. I can tolerate her doing what she wants with the house, organizing and decorating how she likes, I�m not fuzzy, whatever makes her happy. I don�t ask her to work, I support her, give her whatever she needs. I hate, but tolerate that she sometimes gets rid of my clothes she doesn�t like or deems �unwearable� without asking. That she has a history of accidentally throwing away or �breaking� presents my friends have bought me. There are little things that piss me off but when I tried talking about it with her, she always makes up an excuse to justify her point of view and makes a drama just to avoid us discussing the problem. She just likes to get her way at any cost.

I�ve put up with this long enough, and as silly as it may seem, this is almost a point of no return for me. She went over my head and got rid of something precious that belonged to my hero and favorite person in the world. I know she never liked my grandfather because he always was -is and will be- a big part of my life and she always complained that she needed to be my number one person to feel safe. But loving hell I married her didn�t I? I didn�t marry my grandfather. It� not a loving competition, I can love two people in different ways, she didn�t have to dislike him or feel threatened just because he was so important for me. My wife is also important. I never understood that jealousy.

I would understand if I had a female friend and she was jealous over it, but being jealous of my grandfather?? Ffs I can�t even masturbate to porn because she gets mad and considers it �cheating on me and your family� and made me promise to only think of her if I need to masturbate! I can�t breathe, I feel suffocated. This is nonsense. I�ve tried everything to please her and nothing is enough. And everything I do for her she takes for granted. And what for? So when I ask for one small thing like hanging two axes on the wall she turns around and does this?

I don�t know what to do. I don�t know if I can move on. All I know is if I go back home we�re gonna wind up arguing and making things worse, and I may say something I regret. I�ve been feeling this for a long time, that I love my wife, she�s the mother of my children, I�m so grateful to her for giving me these beautiful kids, but I�m slowly realizing we are not compatible and she�s not the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.

So I packed a bag with some clothes, got in the car and drove to a hotel. My phone is off because I can predict she�s calling me like crazy. Whenever I need space or time alone she calls me relentlessly, so now I just turn off my phone. I�m afraid of going back home because I know she�s gonna play the victim role as usual and turn the tables on me, and I guarantee she�s gonna make this about her, because she does it every single time. Tell me I�m out of order for reacting this way over a couple of axes, how she is all day at home raising our kids, although I�ve offered to hire a nanny and she�s free to work, how she's sacrificed her body to give me offspring, I�m very grateful she did and I appreciate all she�s done, but those are not excuses to run a dictatorship at home.

Am I overreacting? Or have my eyes finally been opened? I don�t really have anybody to talk about this, because none of my friends really like my wife �my wife doesn�t like a single one of my friends and coworkers either, male or female-, they get along because she�s my wife, but none of them like her so they won�t be objective about this argument. Part of me fears I�m being petty arguing over a couple of axes, but another part of me is very angry because she threw away something very special from my grandfather, I feel like this is how she wins the war against him, her having the last word, and her symbolically getting rid of him and every trace of him in our lives and house.

I never make a decision without giving myself at least a few days and see how I feel about things then. But this wanting a divorce is something that�s been in my mind for a while. I think is dishonest to be with her if I�m not in love. I love her, but I�m not in love. I don�t like the person she�s becoming, we have grown apart. And this thing she�s done, this has forever changed the way I look at her. I don�t say this from a place of anger. I just feel I don�t want her near me and this is a confirmation to a feeling I�ve had for a long time. At some point very soon I�ll have to turn on my phone and talk to my children, who are spending the day with friends. I don�t know what to do or how to deal with this.

tl,dr Wife threw in the trash a couple of axes that I found belonged to my late grandfather. She did throw them behind my back because I wanted to hang them on the wall. This is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I'm seriously considering a divorce. I need some advice because I don't know how to handle this situation.

My (31F) boyfriend (33M) is LIVID I asked him why he doesn't want to add me on Facebook[new] (self.relationships)

quote:

So last night he mentioned adding a recent new friend we made to Facebook. I asked him if he was finally ready to add me since he added the other person and he totally lost it. I feel this is a huge over reaction and I'm really not understanding it.

We've known eachother 8 years, been together 2, he posts pictures of me on his Facebook, but is livid when I ask if we can add eachother? Like he essentially ran out of the restaurant we were at, didn't even wait for me, wouldn't talk to me the rest of the night and this morning told me not to talk to him. I told him this makes no sense and asked if he could explain his behaviour because I'm confused, and his was response was that he's ok with that.

Then he left.

I'm so confused about his reaction to this... I'm hardly on fb and wouldn't have brought it up if he hadn't mentioned the other guy... But he did so it was like hey, why aren't we friends?! To be this level of nasty... Over that? I really don't get it.

BOLD TL:DR Boyfriend is livid and won't talk to me after I asked about adding eachother on Facebook after he added someone else recently.

He needs to learn every ax related pun he possibly can before getting the divorce.

Husband (32) is furious because I (27) bought him a birthday gift

quote:

My husband is furious at me because for his birthday I decided to go all out. I did this because we don�t spend money on dates and our anniversary/my birthday so I wanted to make it special.

It�s not like we�re poor. We pay the bills on time and have regular debts like car payment and school loans. We�re middle class. He just doesn�t like spending money.

We�ve been having a lot of relationship issues but thanks to therapy I thought we had turned a corner.

I paid to have his car detailed (it looked like the inside of teenagers car) and I bought him a bottle of Oban (90$). When he opened the Oban he yelled at me right away asking what I thought I was doing getting something so expensive. I burst into tears and he apologized for yelling and said he loved it but obviously the feelings were strained after that.

Then last night he was quiet so I asked him what was wrong and he said he was very upset and insulted that I spent that much money on him knowing how he doesn�t like to spend money. He accused me of not knowing him and that he would have preferred a dollar store mug with his name on it. He also said now he would have to work overtime this week to make up for the money wasted.

Did I do something wrong? I never thought I would be getting yelled at for buying someone a gift. A gift that he appears to have no problem drinking. (After he saw it and was upset I offered to take it back for a refund and he refused). We share finances so I don�t see how this could be a money issue.

TL;DR husband is mad because for his birthday I tried to spoil him.

Gifts are acts of aggression, etc.

There's no need to be a dick and i'm not trolling, I just don't think there'd be a lot of suing going on if the dog tore up a pillow and ended up needing to be hospitalized over the stuffing.

Gifts are acts of aggression, etc.

Women, please stop marrying Ebenezer Scrooge. Unless you accidentally married Michael Caine

yes, the owner would probably want the vet bills covered since they agreed to watch the dog.

please don't curse at me, i know it's frustrating to not grasp stuff as quickly as other kids but the important thing is you're trying

I get losing it for elmo at least he does something, he talked and there was marketing for it. But plain rear end stuffed animals are the most base level gift unless your kid is really into the thing they're based (something based on the movie they constantly watch like a dinosaur from land before time, car from cars, etc.)

My niece has a mountain of stuffed animals and she only plays with like 2.

Also that ladies story started off with she was going to go all out and do something special but then it was just getting his car cleaned, which is all detailing really is, and some expensive whiskey. I was expecting something way more crazy.

I am very pro-gifts, but we can't possibly weigh in on gift lady without knowing the household finances.

It could be that husband grew up in poverty and has that weird money hoarding "never spend a cent you don't have to never ever ever" mindset, but it could also be that OP is one of those women who talks about having 'shared income' when their husband brings in $40k a year and they have an Etsy store earning $200 a month.
